Dr. Xavier Sigaud, 150, Rio de Janeiro-RJ , Brazil c Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Ege University, Izmir 35100, Turkey Abstract The sensitivity to initial conditions and relaxation dynamics of two-dimensional maps are analyzed at the edge of chaos, along the lines of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We verify the dual nature of the entropic index for the Henon map, one (q sen 1) related to its sensitivity to initial condition properties, and the other, graining-dependent (q rel (W ) 1), related to its relaxation dynamics towards its stationary state attractor. We also corroborate a scaling law between these two indices, previously found for z-logistic maps. Finally, we perform a preliminary analysis of a linearized version of the Henon map (the smoothed Lozi map).

Introduction The rebirth of the focus on nonlinear maps has opened unsuspected new perspectives in physics. Among them, the logistic map [1,2] has achieved a paradigmatic rank.

2 228 E.P. Borges, U. Tirnakli / Physica A 340 (2004) symplectic ones also, like the standard map, have their places. These simple nonlinear models exhibit essential features of ordered and chaotic systems, and also of the transition between them. When we deal exactly with the critical points, these models present many typical behaviors of complex systems, for instance, slow dynamics, break of ergodicity, power-laws, and self-similarity, among others. One of the important contributions that comes from the study of these maps aims to understand the fundamental connections between dynamics and thermodynamics. In fact, the relation between these two main branches of physics is not yet fully understood and there are many points that deserve further investigations [3]. Once these systems have low dimensionality, it is possible to computationally investigate them in its full phase space, something that is very hard (not to say impossible) to implement for high-dimensional systems. There are also important analytical results regarding the logistic maps at the edge of chaos [4,5]. It is very impressive that features exhibited by high-dimensional Hamiltonian systems [6] may be found in some of these maps (conservative [7] or even dissipative [8]), e.g. the meta-stationary non-boltzmannian state with a crossover to a stationary Boltzmannian state (crossover that is shifted in time as the system grows), indicating that the scenario conjectured in Ref. [9] is somehow ubiquitous. There are basically two computational paths for investigating such dissipative systems, along nonextensive lines:sensitivity- and relaxation-based approaches. By nonextensive we mean the use of the nonextensive entropy (written in its dimensionless form) S q = 1 W i=1 pq i (q R) ; (1) q 1 and the concepts it implies. The rst step of both approaches is to dene a partition of the phase space into W equally spaced cells (the graining). Then the graining is made ner (by increasing W ). In the sensitivity-based approach, we choose one of the W cells of the phase space, put within it N points (typically N W ), and then follow the dynamical evolution of these points. Its initial entropy is S q (t =0)=0, q, (complete knowledge) so it increases with time. The chosen initial cell is taken as that (or those) which rapidly spreads the points over the phase space. It is possible to estimate the value of the entropic index, here called q sen, by at least three dierent methods, all of them giving the same results. To see a description of these methods, when they were rst employed, see Refs. [10 12]. In the second (relaxation-based) approach [13], we initially take N W points uniformly distributed in the whole phase space. Its initial entropy S q (t =0)=(W 1 q 1)=(1 q) is a maximum, q (complete lack of information). At the edge of chaos and as t, the distribution of points do not occupy the whole phase space, but a fractal subspace of it. So the entropy decreases (relaxes) with time. The shrinking of the occupied volume permits to estimate the proper entropy index, here called q rel. These two approaches to the same problem generate dierent entropic indices:the sensitivity-based approach generates q sen 6 1, while the relaxation-based approach generates q rel 1. In Ref. [14] it was found for the logistic map that the entropic index q rel depends on the graining W, and that there exists the following scaling-law relation: q rel (W ) q rel (W ) W qsen : (2)

3 E.P. Borges, U. Tirnakli / Physica A 340 (2004) In the present work, we further investigate this scaling relation for the Henon map (preliminary results were given in Ref. [15]). The existence of a scaling-law between sensitivity and relaxation (graining-dependent)-based approaches for dierent systems, including high-dimensional ones, was suggested in Ref. [16]. We also perform a preliminary study of a linearized version of the Henon map, according to the sensitivity-based approach. Before going on, let us make a few comments about nomenclature. In early papers on nonextensive statistical mechanics, there were no awareness of the duality of the q indices, so they were simply called q, or, sometimes, q. The existence of the duality was shown in Ref. [13] and then commented in Ref. [17]. In that paper, it was adopted the expression mixing in the sense of sensitivity to initial conditions, and equilibrium in the sense of relaxation to the stationary state attractor. So the nomenclatures q mix and q eq were employed. In some later papers on the subject, this nomenclature has gradually changed. In the present work we adopt q sen in the place of q mix, and q rel in the place of q eq, due to the generality of the concepts. Such adaptation of concepts and nomenclature is natural in a still evolving branch of science. 2. Sensitivity and relaxation for two-dimensional maps We analyze two examples of two-dimensional maps. The rst one is the Henon map [18] x t+1 =1 ax 2 t + y t ; y t+1 = bx t : (3) Parameter b recovers the logistic map when it is set to zero. If b=1, the Henon map is conservative. We are particularly interested at small values of b (dissipative systems) at the edge of chaos (critical points at which the standard Lyapunov exponent changes sign). Table 1 presents the critical values of parameter a for dierent values of b, as well as the limits of the phase space in each case. We also analyze the approximation of the Lozi map made at Ref. [19]. The Lozi map is a piecewise linearization of the Henon map. In Ref. [19], the authors have Table 1 Critical parameter a = a c for the Henon map, at the edge of chaos b a c x min x max y min y max 0 1: ::: : ::: 1: : : ::: 1: : : ::: 1: : : ::: 1: : x min, x max, y min and y max represent the limits of the phase space along x- and y-axis, respectively.

Limit lim 0 + F (x)= x recovers the original Lozi map. In order to establish a connection between q sen and q rel, we follow the procedure adopted in Ref. [14] that we briey describe in the following:we begin with N points inside a properly chosen single cell (similar to the sensitivity-based approach). The initial cell is chosen as that one which gives the maximum spread of the points a maximum overshoot in curve S qsen vs. time (see Fig. 1(a), illustrated with the Henon map). The entropy is evaluated with value q sen, as determined by the sensitivity-based methods. Fig. 1(a) may be divided into two parts:the uphill side is governed by the sensitivity to the initial conditions, and the downhill side is governed by the relaxation to the nal stationary value of S qsen. These two sides are a visual expression of the noncommutability of limits lim t lim W and lim W lim t. The former expresses that complete knowledge never meets a stationary state. On the other hand, the later order of limits expresses that a stationary state is only possible with lack of information. This noncommutability was conjectured in Ref. [9] for many-body Hamiltonian systems, if we substitute the present variable W for the number of particles. We particularly focus on the downhill side and dene the variable S qsen S qsen (t) S qsen (t ). The time evolution of S qsen gradually displays a power law, as W (and proportionally N ) increases (Fig. 1(b)). The slope (in a log log plot) of the curve in range S qsen follows a power law, is identied with the power of a decreasing q-exponential (without cuto), e q ( t) =[1 (1 q rel ) t= q ] 1=(1 q rel) ( slope =1=(q rel (W ) 1)). It is somehow subjective to decide when the power law begins and when it ends. So we average over many possible intervals (dierent beginnings and endings), taking into account those with higher correlation coecient.

Scaling law for the Henon map (Eq. (2)), at the edge of chaos. (a) The abscissa is the partition of the logistic subspace, W x. (b) The abscissa is the full partition of the two-dimensional phase space, W,as appeared in Ref. [15]. The gures make evident that the choice (b) is not fair, as explained in the text. The sensitivity-based approach to this map was applied previously [20], when it was found q sen =0:2445 :::; the same value found for the logistic map [10 12]. When the relaxation-based method is applied to the Henon map [15, Fig. 1]; once again it was found the same value of the logistic map for innite ne graining, q rel (W )=2:41 :::. These results may include the Henon map into the family of the logistic map. We then examine the relation between these two q indices:we approximately nd the scaling law, Eq. (2). The scaling law is found when we analyze the projection of the map in its logistic subspace (x axis), so we use W x instead of W in Eq. (2). Fig. 2(a) shows our results for the Henon map. The errors associated with the obtained results are relatively large when compared with those of the logistic map. This may be due to the fact that two-dimensional maps demand higher number of cells W, and consequently higher number of points N. Once the computer capabilities are, of course, limited, the graining we can achieve in two-dimensional maps is coarser than in one-dimensional ones. For this reason, the extrapolated curves for q rel (W )in Fig. 2(a) for b 0 should be viewed as indicative. We also conclude that the logistic limit b 0 is slowly reached. We call attention that in Ref. [15] we were not able (at that moment) to see that it was necessary to analyze the logistic subspace, once we had only one value of b; in that paper we adopted W in the scaling law. Only now we amend that conclusion:fig. 2(b) shows that the use of the full partition of the phase space W, in the two-dimensional Henon map is not fair, once b 0 does not recover the logistic case. Let us now address our results for the smoothed Lozi map, Eq. (4), at the edge of chaos (when =0:3, a c =1: ::: for b =0:001, and a c =1: ::: for b = 0:01). We have focused this map according to the sensitivity-based approach. The analysis of the sensitivity to initial conditions at the edge of chaos (see Ref. [10] for details of this method) shows a vanishing standard Lyapunov exponent. The positive q-lyapunov parameter, qsen, expresses that the system follows a complex dynamics, whose upper bound of the sensitivity (t) evolves through a slow dynamics, (t) = [1+(1 q sen ) qsen t] 1=(1 qsen), with (t) lim x(0) 0 (x(t)=x(0)). Fig. 3(a) identies the slope of the upper bound with the power of the previous q-exponential equation for (t). A dierent method related to this sensitivity-based approach, namely the rate of increase of S q [12], is also presented (Fig. 3(b)). The proper value of q is that one

(b) Time evolution of S q. which generates a linear increase of entropy (a nite rate of entropy production). Both methods give q sen 0:2445, the same value of the logistic map. The analysis of this smoothed Lozi map according to the relaxation-based method is still missing, as well as the correlation between its entropic indices q sen and q rel. 3. Conclusions The duality among the q-indices, one related to approaches based on sensitivity to initial conditions, q sen, and other related to approaches based on relaxation to stationary states, q rel, and the connection between them being veried for the rst time for the logistic map (Ref. [14]), has been approximately veried in a two-dimensional (Henon) map, which belongs to the logistic family. The relation is veried in the logistic subspace of the two-dimensional map. The results straighten the validity of the scaling relation, Eq. (2). Possibly similar scaling laws exist for dierent phenomena, as suggested in Ref. [16], and further studies along these lines would be very welcome. The preliminary analysis of the smoothed Lozi map, that introduces a linearization in the Henon map, indicates that as far as the sensitivity to initial conditions are concerned, this map presents the same value of q sen as that of the logistic and Henon map. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the characteristic values q rel, as well as the connection between them. Recently, it has been conjectured in Ref. [21] that the complete characterization of a system may demand not only two, but three entropic indices. The third one would be related to the stationary state itself, namely q stat. These indices would certainly be related among themselves. Detection and estimation of q stat, as well as the discovery of how these three indices are connected, are essential steps towards the closure of the nonextensive statistical mechanics theory.
